The Abduction
Chapter 2
„Before we go on, I´m gonna show you something".
He removed the scarf with which Lisbon was blindfolded so that she could see the room. She suddenly realised that she only wore her panties and her shirt, when she saw the tape which tied her thighs to the chair.
'Why the hell havn't I felt that before?' she thought fearful. 'And were are my clothes? I had to be unconscious for a long while...and-what?!- why do I wear my shirt but not my bra?! This is getting scary...'
He, whoever he was, put the scarf on her eyes again and asked her:
„So, what was it you did with Bosco so long ago but you didn't tell anybody about? My client wanted me to check you out...Somehow he found out that this is the only thing you refuse talking about for almost 20 years now. He found that this was the appropriate thing to ask you because you won't tell me, whatever I do to you."
„Then why do you try to get it out of me, if you already know that i`m not gonna tell you anyway?"
„He wants you to suffer."
„Seems to be a nice guy..."
„Don't you talk about him like that!" Within seconds, he held a knive at her throat and whisperd in her ear, while he was standing behind her:
„Listen to me, Teresa, we can do this fast and you just tell me about this or slow and I'll find ways to make you talk. Trust me, this won't be a nice day for you..."
„Oh please, is that supposed to scare me?! You need more than just a bloody knive to make me talk."
'What am I doing here?!' thought Lisbon. 'Why do I act like I'm hardcore? I could just tell him and try not to die here...and why the hell hasn't the team found me? Wait, no, I won't tell him, I`ll stay strong..."
„What happened with this Bosco-guy?" asked Fisher.
„We don't know." replied Jane, who hadn't thought about this whole Bosco thing for a long while. Cho stared at Jane as if he knew something the others didn't know.
„Really Cho, I have no idea. She doesn't tell me everything... „
„But you look like you know."
„All right, I do have an idea, but I can't tell you, because...well, I´m not sure if it's true and I don't want Lisbon to get in trouble."
He glanced at Fisher, who suddenly became very interested in something illegal Lisbon could have done.
She said:" Even if Lisbon killed someone, I won't tell anybody when we're back.
Cho wasn't sure about that. „Keep that in mind when Abbott asks us about our trip here..."
„Of course I will...oh damn, this is driving me mad..."
Jane was getting furious again:" YOU are mad?! How do you think Lisbon feels right now?!"
Pretty bad, actually...
He cut her with his knive until she had bloody cuts everywhere which would very likely become scars. 'I'm sure this looks like the work of Red John, but that's not possible...' she thought while she tried not to scream.
„We are doing this for hours, and you still didn't break...brave girl. I've beaten you up and cut you, but you still refuse to say anything. I'll let you alone for some time so that you can think about it. And when I'm sure you are ready to give in, I'll come back again."
„Like that's gonna happen, no way."
„We'll see..."
He put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her hair, then she heard how he closed the door.
Lisbon was alone. The room was unnaturally hot and her shirt sticked on her skin.
'I can't be a brave girl anylonger` thought Lisbon, when she started crying like a five-year-old.
He had put the bloody wet cloth in her mouth again to make it harder for her to breath.
It seemed to her as if she was alone in this room since hours, but in fact, the door opend after 10 minutes. She felt his hot breath in her neck when he hissed:
„This is your last chance, Teresa. Option one: You tell me what I wanna know. Option two: I'm letting you suffer more until you beg me to kill you."
„Option two." she said without thinking.
„Bad choice." Then he knocked her out.
„She's completely insane...what kind of sick game is she playing?!" Fisher was almost speechless about Lisbon.
„ Same game I am playing with her all the time." said Jane drily.
„And what is that?"
Cho looked at her as if she had asked somehing totally stupid.
Jane replied:"I'm driving her mad until she explodes."
„Why? This is awful!"
„Oh, you know, just for fun" he said, but he thought 'And because I like it when she gets all authoritarian on me, because I like teasing her and because I know that she secretly likes it when I tease her...'
Cho looked as if he knew everything about Jane and Lisbon, but...was there something the others shouldn't know? Jane wasn't sure...
When Lisbon regained consciousness, she lay on her back and her wrists were in shackles which were bolted to the floor. He was kneeling beside her and pulled her shirt up. Then he held a knive at her neck and asked her:
„You don't mind a nice huge scar from your neck to your hips, do you?!"
„Dammit, WHY are you doing this to me? Why? And please, please tell me who your 'client' is!"
„You can't guess?"
„Fuckin' hell, no!"
-slap-
„Ow! Could you stop that?!"
„No, my dear, I can't, it's way to much fun. You wanna know who is behind all this?
„Yes, dammit, please!"
„Can't you think of a certain sadistic psychopath who you brought to prison in Sacramento? He wants to take revenge now and chose that hurting you was the best option."
„Wait? Do you mean Volker? Oh man, this was years ago, why would he want to take revenge now?"
„Yeah, you're right! Volker! He planned this for a while."
„This doesn't make any sense when he can't see me suffer..."
„And this is why we're not really alone in this room..."
„What do you mean?"
He removed the scarf from her eyes again and told her:
„There are a couple of hidden cameras in this room."
„WHAT?!"
„Volker is watching us right now, I bet he's having fun...and do you know who's watching, too?"
She had an idea, but didn't want to think about it further.
„The rest of your team. They are in a different room and forced to watch this on a huge screen. I bet they don't really want to see this." He grinned.
„No! You can't do this!" Lisbon was sure this was the most embarrassing moment ever...
„I think we should get to the peak of all this..." He pulled her panties half down and cut a thin red line all over her upper body.
„Did you learn your lesson now?"
„Yes" panted Lisbon. She thought she was loosing her mind.
„Why don't you just kill me? Please!"
-slap- „You're not allowed to demand anything!"
„OK, I got it..."
„What do we say?"
„Sorry..."
„Ah, good girl, now it's time to make you sleep."
„What do you mean?!" She was panicking...
„I'm not gonna kill you, my dear. Calm down."
But Lisbon couldn't calm down, she was totally freaking out. He suddenly had a needle in his hand.
„What's that?"
„You would like to know that, wouldn't you?! I`ll inject this into your navel. It will make you unable to move and-"
„Funny..."
„-and you will lose your consciousness once again, but slowly, so that you are aware of it."
Then he put the needle inside her, she looked at him and her head fell to the side.
To be continued.
I stole the line „You're not allowed to demand anything" from Rothelena, I hope she doesn't mind! A guest („Idonthaveaname) somehow knew it was Volker!
